Enzyme Peelling Facial

                           Enzyme Peeling 

What Is an Enzyme Peel?

An enzyme peel is a facial treatment meant to rid your complexion of dead skin cells for glowier skin. "The enzymes used in enzyme peels come from fruits and vegetables such as pineapple, papaya, and pumpkin," says King. "These proteolytic enzymes help to break down proteins—including keratin proteins in the outer layer of the skin. This helps dead skin cells slough off, leaving the skin smoother and softer, with decreased discolorations."

Benefits of an Enzyme Peel

• Leaves skin softer and smoother: An enzyme peel is an exfoliant, so it should come as no surprise that many people report brighter, glowier skin after enzyme peels, with cleaner pores and reduced blackheads and blemishes.
• Safe for all skin types—and even pregnant women: Those whose skin gets easily irritated will find relief with enzyme peels. "Enzymes are a great choice for those with sensitive skin who can't tolerate. Alfa and Bheta Hydroxy acids.
• A gentler alternative to more "intense" treatments: Generally, with enzyme peels, you'll experience less irritation than you would with microdermabration or laser resurfacing treatments—while still reaping major benefits. According to King, "They provide a more gentle way to exfoliate and brighten the skin."
• Boosts skin's hydration: Most notably, you'll likely notice a boost in luminosity and hydration.
  
  
  
• Increases collagen synthesis: exfoliating will stimulate collagen production   resulting in improved texture as related to fine lines and wrinkles, as well as scars and overall plumper-looking skin.

How to Prepare for an Enzyme Peel

Because enzymes are generally safe and gentle for the skin, you don't have to worry about "prepping" your complexion too much. That said, it might be a good idea to refrain from makeup for the few days leading up to your enzyme peel so your pores are as clean as possible. You will also want to avoid things like tanning beds and sunburns. And make sure you don't have any open wounds on your face, which could get irritated and inflamed by an enzyme peel.

Enzyme Peel vs. Chemical Peel

While an enzyme peel is relatively gentle, a chemical peel utilizes stronger ingredients, such as Glycolic Acids, to resurface the skin. As a result, the downtime might be a little longer, and the results will also differ. Glycolic acid, for instance, has a brightening effect on the skin, so the benefits are greater than just a straightforward enzyme peel.

When to Expect Results 

Although you'll usually see results immediately with enzyme peels, the one major downside is that the effects aren't as intense or long-lasting because they're gentler than other chemical treatments. "The results may be less dramatic compared with alpha and beta hydroxy acids," King says. "Alpha and beta hydroxy acids are generally more potent, so they can work more deeply and intensely, with more dramatic results. But there's also more potential for irritation." 

For instance, it could take you multiple enzyme peels to see the same results you'll witness from one chemical peel. Enzyme peels will still get the job done, but it'll likely take more time and effort. And while enzyme peels will improve mild to moderate signs of aging, people with more significant wrinkles or imperfections will probably see better results from a deeper chemical peel.

Potential Side Effects

Enzyme peels are generally safe to use. However, it's important to confirm that you're not allergic o any of the ingredients prior to your enzyme peel. Enzyme peels can also exacerbate conditions like acne, dermatitis or Herpes outbreaks, so it's a good idea to consult a professional beforehand.

If you are using an at-home enzyme peel, follow the instructions carefully and do not leave it on for more than the recommended amount of time—especially if you have sensitive skin. Doing so may lead to an adverse reaction, such as redness and irritation.

The Cost

Enzyme peels cost anywhere from $140 to $280, depending on the treatment and where you get it done. 

Aftercare

Little to no downtime or recovery is involved after an enzyme peel since they typically work without damaging or irritating your skin. It's likely all you'll experience is some mild tingling and potentially slight redness, so you can basically go straight from your esthetician's office back to work.

One thing you should note is that—like other facials and treatments—your skin may be more sensitive to the sun afterward, so it's a good idea to avoid the rays for a week or so after your enzyme peel. And remember: You should also be slathering on sunblock 

The Final Takeaway

Across the board, enzyme peels are a safe and generally risk-free exfoliating treatment. They can help gently remove dead, dull skin, helping to reveal an illuminated, smoother complexion. That said if you're looking for more immediate results—and your skin isn't easily irritated—a more powerful chemical exfoliant might be a better option. Either way, it's best to consult a professional if you're unsure about your skin's unique needs.
